Welcome to LncRNAWiki
106,053 human long non-coding RNAs inside
Introduction

LncRNAWiki is a wiki-based, publicly editable and open-content platform for community curation of human long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), viz., a community-curated lncRNA knowledgebase. Unlike conventional biological databases based on expert curation, lncRNAWiki harnesses collective intelligence to collect, edit and annotate information about lncRNAs, quantifies users' contributions in each annotated lncRNA and provides explicit authorship to encourage more participation from the whole scientific community.

Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet has free access to the sum of all human knowledge. — Jimmy Wales, Founder of Wikipedia

LncRNAWiki keeps frequent updates by community annotation of human lncRNAs and integration of newly identified lncRNAs with experimental evidence. In contrast to the previous version (released in 2014) that had 86 curated lncRNAs, the 2017 updated version has, a total of 948 lncRNAs that are community-curated (Featured LncRNAs).

Among these 948 featured lncRNAs, 404 have been experimentally proved to be associated with cancer and other diseases (Disease).

Top diseases and top cancers, and the lncRNA numbers are listed.

Classification

The majority of the lncRNA information was initially seeded with a subset of information from GENCODE, NONCODE, LNCipedia, and lncRNAdb, and we classified these lncRNAs into seven groups based on their genomic location in respect to protein-coding genes (Ma etal. 2013, RNA Biology). Help



Small proteins

We developed computational approaches for identification of small proteins in all the human lncRNAs in LncRNAWiki.

As a result, we identified 9,387 lncRNAs potentially encoding small proteins and 2,246 among them are with high confidence (lncRNAs and small proteins, Help).
